Abstract

Atomically thin molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is emerging as a potential alternative to graphene due to presence of bandgap, which is particularly advantageous to optoelectronic applications. The temperature-dependent Raman spectra of exfoliated monolayer MoS2 in the range of 100 K to 320 K are reported and analyzed. The linear temperature coefficients of the in-plane E2g1 and the out-of-plane A1g modes for suspended and substrate-supported monolayer MoS2 are measured and compared to those of relevant 2D materials such as graphene. These data, when combined with our first-order coefficients from laser power dependent studies enable the thermal conductivity to be extracted (24 ± 4) W/mK. This value is much lower than that seen in graphene, yet is in general agreement with our first-principle lattice dynamics simulations. This work demonstrates the continued relevance of Raman spectroscopy is to 2D nanoelectronic materials.
